25 Things you should know about Other People
by Sovereign Syre (originally published on blogcritics.org back in 2009) 1. Most people hide their suffering better than you think, you pass dozens of people a day on the street without any idea how well they're wearing their tragedies. 2. People's names are the sweetest sounds they hear. You should make a point of being good at learning and using them. 3. People love to spread their misery around, but not as much as they enjoy being lifted out of it. 4. Being young is not in and of itself an achievement. Neither is being beautiful. But people often treat you as if they are. and 21 other jewels.
